EXPLORE MORE ASSIGNMENTS:

· It's a little-known system made up of a whole collection of glands.

Your endocrine system does even more through the wonder of chemicals.

Endocrine glands spew their hormones directly into your bloodstream

You've got over 30 of these amazing hormones busily orchestrating and regulating such things as: when you feel hungry or full; how you sleep; your body temperature; how you break down and utilize the food you eat and whether you are fat or thin; when you start puberty and how long it takes; how you handle stress; how much adrenaline you have in an emergency situation...even how and when you grow.

The time when your body begins its final journey to become adult is also run by these hormones. It's called puberty and it involves all sorts of big and small changes to your body .

During puberty, your body begins to change -- girls develop breasts and hips; boys get taller and bigger bodies and more muscles. Hair begins to develop in varying degrees on boys and girls: pubic hair, arm pit hair, leg hair, and, on boys, facial and body hair. By the time you've finished puberty, you will have become an adult. You may also like other gender, and experiencing emotions that are new to you. And, if you are a boy, you will have become able toto father a baby; if you are a girl, you will have developed the ability to have a baby.
